@endings after vasu enders

As /vasu is /udit, it gets /num before strong by ugidacAMs..., just like **hanumat- हनुमत्. The a अ lengthens by sAntamahat... —

**vidvas- विद्वस् m + /su → **vidvAn विद्वान्

and the /num becomes /M before s स् by nazcApadAnt... —

**vidvas- विद्वस् m + /jas → **vidvAMsas विद्वांसस्

When /vasu is whimpy, vasossampras... makes /samprasAraNa —

The /sambuddhi is

**vidvas- विद्वस् m + /sambuddhi
→ vidvass विद्वःस्
→ vidvans विद्वन्स् before strong
→ vidvan विद्वन् by saMyogAntasy...
→ !**vidvan विद्वन् "hey sage"

because sAntamahat... does not lengthen before /sambuddhi, and naGisambuddhy... preserves the n न्.
